Nikon × MILLET Camera Backpack
When did you get this camera bag?
That was about 6 months ago . It was a used item from a past model, but I liked the design and tracked it down. It's a backpack that fits easily with my fashion style, and as a Nikon camera user, I was happy to see this MILLET collaboration bag.
. How did you end up with this bag?
There was a time when I used to use a camera bag made by a camera bag manufacturer, but after all, a bag is also a fashion item, isn't it? . I chose this bag because I wanted to carry something that was more personal to me.
The top opens to the main compartment. It holds one SLR, a lens , and a compact camera.
Two sub-compartments .
The middle section with the logo holds film, and the lower section is also designed to hold a camera , but on this day, it holds cords and other items.
When he goes for a short walk, he wears an Elle Bean waist pouch with a Katadian tag on his shoulder.
Do you use it all the time for filming?
No, this comes in handy for shoots where I have to travel by myself. When the entire film crew travels around using a location bus or for studio shoots, you load as much equipment as possible into the car.
. So, is it a location shoot in the vicinity?
Yes . I find this bagpack very easy to use when shooting on location using my own feet. I like the fact that the compartments are divided into smaller compartments to hold two or three cameras, and that there are many extraction slots.
You brought another small bag with you , when do you use this one?
This is a vintage L.L.Bean bag that was given to me. I use this bag when I take my camera for a short walk or a stroll around town. It is just the right size to hold a compact camera and a roll of film.
What do you look for when choosing a camera bag?
In terms other than design, it has to be tough . This is true not only for backpacks, but also for clothes and cameras, but I often choose a product based on the premise that it is hard to break. This is actually one of the reasons why I use Nikon cameras.

For Omiyama, who values both durability and style, he may choose a noncamera bag and include a cushion for his camera. The backpacks made of "eco Aztec," macpac's proprietary material that is a blend of polyester and organic cotton, and waxed to make it water resistant, can be used for a long time without the risk of the coating peeling off or deteriorating over time. The center pocket provides access to the main compartment, making it easy to use.
